Supreme Court to Reevaluate Government Power and Judicial Deference in Key Cases.
The US Supreme Court will hear a case that could potentially limit the authority of federal agencies, including environmental regulations. The case involves the Chevron Doctrine, which grants agencies deference when Congress left ambiguity in a statute. The Herring fishing company Loper Bright Enterprises is appealing a ruling that left in place a National Marine Fisheries Service regulation based on the doctrine. The regulation requires herring fishing boats to allow a federal observer aboard to oversee operations and compensate them for their time. The company argues the regulation significantly decreases their profit margin, and the agency had no authorization to impose it.
